I finally have it!
A great comeback for the 'socialization' question.

Hubby is out and about as part of his job.  He sees many different people during his day and since he's an extrovert, he has many conversations.  Often they're interesting and often he gets questions about homeschooling.  He has become quite tired of people asking "What about socialization?".  If you've homeschooled for any length of time, that is the #1 question people ask.
Well, he was asked that again yesterday and his reply was this:

"Isn't it a shame that you are more concerned with  my children's  'socialization' than you are their academics?"

He did go on to say more, explaining that the family is a better place for being 'socialized' as there are all different ages.  He usually says something about 'being in a room with 30 people your own age all day, isn't normal'.

I thought that was an original thing to say, especially when you've answered the question so many times.

I don't mind if you want to borrow it the next time somebody questions you.

That is a good one....I may have to borrow it next time the 'S' question comes up....

I like that one. [ 0= I went to look for the email and didn't see it. Would you try again for me ? Thanks . I look forward to reading it.

PS: I think I am feeling good enough to take the boys Curling. ( and I can go bead shopping (0;)

I don't get that question much anymore, thankfully. Actually around here, it is not so weird anymore. I am so grateful! And to answer your question, my hubby was reading a Thomas the Tank Engine Book to them in that picture. They love that book, still.
